Refracting Telescopes for Sale
A refracting telescope uses lenses to focus the light
from the stars. Refracting means to bend the light where reflecting,
of course, means to reflect the light. The more expensive reflecting
telescopes use multi coated lenses and multiple lenses with various shapes
to cancel out the achromatic aberrations found in cheaper refracting telescopes.
An achromatic aberration means that the colors focus at different points
giving a sort of blur in your stars image. It also causes the star
to have outlines in different colors. If you are just looking at
the moon, the inexpensive telescopes still work great but when looking
at distant planets and stars you really need a good telescope. Another
factor that you must look at is the tripod. A good tripod is a must.
If you have a cheap telescope tripod you will never be able to locate the
star in the telescopes field of view. I have a cheapie telescope
myself and I know that this is very true. The better telescopes also
come with a computer tracking control and this type is well worth the money
if you really want to enjoy astronomy as a hobby. It is a common
fact that the cheapie telescopes just end up in a closet collecting dust
where the good telescopes are used time and time again. Therefore
it is really cheaper to pay more money and get a good telescope system.
